Real Sociedad Match Thread

[joe501]

Our last pre-season friendly kicks off at 7.45pm this evening, you can still pay at the gate if you want to go!

You can listen to commentary live from bbc radio leicester here

Maybury, McCarthy, Kenton, Henderson back from injury, don't think Wesolowski will start as his thigh was not right after the Lincoln game.

Come on City lets fill everyone with confidence for Luton next week with a cracking performance tonight!!!

Yeh thats what is implied, but I wouldn't have expected Hughes to be in the first XI..

edit - I would replace Hughes with Williams

Is Kisnorbo injured?!?

 

[newtonfox]

defending well come on city

 

[is it a fox?]

Is Kisnorbo injured?!?

He's suspended for the Luton game so makes sense not to play him.

 

[Hazzman]

Well in that case. All makes sense. However, I still feel we need a left winger. Tiatto is a buffoon IMO.

[Hazzman]

So this is where all the part-timers hang out on match day is it....

Yes, Jeff. The average age of the part-timers is around 30. Not because 25-35 year olds hang around here but because its where the 15-19 year old's who cant afford a ticket and the 45-55 year old's who cant be bothered.
